This 11-inch ultraportable was previously sporting AMD's Nile platform, which was a step above generic Intel Atom equipped netbooks and ultraportables. While the Nile processors were no slouch, the new AMD Fusion platform in the 2011 redesigned dm1z are by far much better than the Nile platform, with comparable performance and battery life to Intel Core 2 Duo CULVs. In previous Nile platform, you have choices of: an AMD Athlon II Neo K125 1.7Ghz processor, Athlon II Neo Dual-Core 1.3Ghz processor, or the Turion II Neo Dual-Core 1.5Ghz processor. On the current model, you now have one single choice of a 1.6Ghz dual-core AMD E-350.

I guess I'm not a fan of paying a premium for ultraportables. I'd take the $300 Lenovo with the Sandy Bridge CPU instead if I needed a portable computer. Others would disagree and say they're not comparable items. I say, "Does it matter if it's apples or oranges when either works fine in my lunch?"

I was explaining why I "thumbed down" it. I don't think it's a good price. Someone else might say, find me a better ultraportable for $350. But my response is, how about a much better laptop for $300? Here's the laptop I was referring to for clarity: http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3455968

And your comparing a 15.6" to a 11.6"?

I guess you don't know that 15" laptops are always the cheap one's.

Ultraportables are always more expensive then a deeply discounted 15".

Really, everyone looking at Slickdeals and looking for an ultraportable will know that the 14"+ form factor give the best performance for money.

It's ridiculous that you gave a thumbs down for that reason. If you are going to do it, at least do it for a good reason, like the fact that you can get an E-450 version for $25 more. It is a mediocre deal for that reason, but not thumbs down territory.

This looks promising, as you rarely find laptops this tiny with discrete graphics, but apart from that, youre looking at a CPU which is slower than Intel's CULV offerings from 2009. My Acer 1410 has a CPU that ranks higher than the AMD in this machine, and I bought that two Christmas' ago, for $359!!

I feel like this machine would have to be another $100 less to be worth contemplating. This is not to thread crap...this machine will destroy any Atom machine, but at this price, we should be expecting AT LEAST performance on par with a CULV Core i3...

I agree. Two main issues with this netbook:

1. Made by HP.
2. Severely underpowered compared to Samsung Princeton

I'd wait till BF. If this was the price on this machine with E-350 a year ago, it'll be a warm deal. The only thing it has over your Acer is the GPU. Otherwise, welcome to 2009. I would've paid $250 for this if Samsung Princeton hadn't dropped to $350.
